Match Summary

With the dark shadow of poverty hanging over the club, a threadbare
squad was listed for this the final match of the pre-season program.
Rodwell and Gosling start with Lescott rested; no sign of bad boy James
Vaughan...

It was a lively start with PSV almost scoring before Yakubu got free
and tried to roll the ball under Issakson who somehow prevented the ball
from going into the net. After a long period of neutral play,
first Gosling went on a mazy run, then Arteta looked ready to score off
a nice ball from Gosling but failed to pull the trigger.

Amranat scored for PSV after 32 mins, a well-taken strike after a
patient buildup and an explosive finish, cutting inside Baines, and
rifling the ball high past Howard into the roof of the net.

Substitutions of course a-plenty in the second half. Those
included virgin Goodison appearances for Lukas Jutkiewicz, Jose Baxter
and James Wallace — a total unknown tall midfielder who has been impressing the Everton
coaches. He made a couple for sub appearances for the
Under-18s early last season but
then disappeared, and was probably injured for most of the season

Jagielka very nearly got a great goal near the end. Yobo was fouled
and picked up a penalty, Arteta stroking it home with aplomb. And thus
it ended.
